SmartCoop – Digital Cooperative Savings

SmartCoop – Digital Cooperative Savings Platform

SmartCoop is a digital cooperative savings platform designed to help members save money, manage their funds and work towards their financial goals through different savings options.

I joined this project as a Full-Stack Development Assistant, working alongside the Minds and Machine development team. I was brought in to support the ongoing development of the platform, contribute to new features, improve existing functionality and resolve technical issues.

Some of the areas I worked on included:

Paystack Integration: Integrated Paystack with the Laravel backend to support payment-related operations.

Wallet Creation: Implemented functionality for creating customer wallets through Paystack.

BVN Verification: Worked on integrating Paystack's BVN verification service to support user identity verification.

UI Development: Designed and developed application screens to improve the user experience.

Bug Fixing: Investigated and resolved bugs, improved existing functionality and helped maintain the application.

Working on SmartCoop gave me practical experience with fintech development, payment gateway integration, financial application workflows and maintaining an existing production application.

It also strengthened my experience collaborating with other developers on an established product and contributing to both frontend and backend development.
